  • Railway track monitoring
    Patent number: 9810533
    Abstract: Novel tools and techniques for monitoring railway track geometry. In one aspect, some such tools and techniques can determine a location of a platform along a railway, capture one or more images of the railway, and/or analyze the rail configuration at that point. In another aspect, some solutions might employ photogrammetric techniques to analyze the rail configuration and thereafter store data about the rail configuration, perhaps correlated with the location of the images, in a data store.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 27, 2011
    Date of Patent: November 7, 2017
    Assignee: Trimble Inc.
    Inventors: Bryn Allen Fosburgh, Mark Edward Nichols, Per Martin Holmgren, Nils Thomas Larsson
  • Publication of equipment status
    Patent number: 9043402
    Abstract: This disclosure concerns novel tools and techniques for distributing status information, including without limitation status information about commercial equipment. In some cases, a status monitoring device can be attached to, incorporated within, or otherwise placed in communication with a piece of commercial equipment. The status monitoring device can monitor the status of the equipment and communicate that status. Some of the discloses tools and techniques employ a social networking infrastructure to convey information (such as status information about a piece of equipment).
